Chapter 293 Forest Tracking
The black crane crossed the valley and plunged into the dense forest.
He thinks that he knows the environment in the depths of the dense forest better than Xia Qiu and Feather Crane Immortals chasing him. There are dense branches and leaves here as cover, and in order to fly smoothly between the trees, he has to reduce the flight speed. For him who is familiar with the environment, the advantage can also become more obvious.
The Feather Crane Fairy had also avoided the pursuit of white bats in the dense forest before, so it was clear that it was not suitable for a huge dew beast like Xiao Libai, so he said to Xia Qiu, "I'll find a way to catch up with him. You continue to fly above and wait for my signal!"
He stretched out his finger and pointed to the horn given to him by the Elder Wan hanging around his neck, and then quickly lowered the flight altitude and disappeared under the cascade of the crown connected like dark green clouds.
Although it is already morning, the light is still difficult to penetrate into the dense forest. The feather crane fairy had to use his hearing to judge the route of the black crane's escape. In addition, he also had a weapon, that is intuition, also known as the sixth sense. The black crane easily found the tree house he built, precisely because their thinking patterns are similar, and now he can also concoct them according to law.
The black crane flies left and right, up and down, and sometimes suddenly turns in direction. He felt that his feather cloak was getting more and more in the way, so he simply pulled it off his body. In the rampage, many small openings have been scraped out of the branches, but for him, this small wound is no different from scratching compared with the pain in the Blackfire Purgatory.
The Feather Crane Fairy also suffered a lot of injuries. The sting came from the place cut by the branch like an ant gnawing, but he couldn't care so much, because he found that his idea was really right. Although half by luck, the distance between him and the black crane was gradually shortening.
The black crane was alert that he underestimated his opponent again, but it was too late. Even if he didn't look back, he could hear the feather crane fairy behind him getting closer and closer to him.
As he began to fly in a curve among the trees, he called out his halberd ready to meet the attack of the Feather Crane Fairy at any time. As much chlorite as possible was embedded in his halberd. From time to time, they shined in the not very bright dense forest, and the attack power of the halberd increased several times.
The Feather Crane Fairy also called out his long dagger that he was good at using. Compared with the Black Crane, his small weapon did not look like it in the same heavyweight, but he soon noticed that if you want to fight between tree trunks, this kind of short weapon should be more advantageous.
He was only an arm's length away from catching the black crane more than once, but he let him escape. The Feather Crane Fairy was not discouraged, but continued to concentrate. While avoiding hitting the trunk, he followed the black crane closely.
Finally, the black crane panicked and couldn't stagger his shoulder with a tree. The impact during the high-speed flight seriously affected his body's balance. He tilted to the side and almost fell to the ground.
Just as the Feather Crane Fairy was about to take the opportunity to blow the horn, the black crane bounced up from the ground and launched an offensive against him first. Without the cover of the cloak, the black crane looks very cautious. If it hadn't been for his purple pupils that were the same as before, it would be really difficult to think of what he looked like as a black crane spirit beast.
The halberd in his hand rubbed the left half of the cheek of the Feather Crane Fairy, but poked the trunk behind him, which affected the speed of the next attack and allowed the Feather Crane Fairy to flash to one side. Then the Yuhe fairy counterattacked him with a long dagger. He blocked the handle of the halberd, and then took the opportunity to use the bottom of the handle to pestle the ground. His body flew out with the help of this force, and the next chase immediately unfolded.
The Feather Crane Fairy was a little annoyed that after catching up with him, he missed the opportunity to take him down, but it took less than a second to regroup and continue to chase him.
The black crane just hit the trunk of the tree with its shoulder, which had a slight impact on his speed, but the feather crane fairy did not slow down at all, so the black crane did not escape far and was caught up.
This time, he considered that he needed more space to use his weapons, so he chose to land in a wider place than just now. He pretended to be calm and said, "What? It was only a few days after the last defeat, and I couldn't help dying. I used to let you go because of the love that I used to be in the divine realm, but this time you won't be so lucky.
"How long have you and I known each other? You know it better than I remember. Why do you continue to pretend, Black Crane? Your plan has completely failed. Give up unnecessary resistance!" The Yuhe fairy was not affected by him, but responded very calmly.
"Give up resistance?! Joke! How is that possible?! Even you and that human girl may not be my opponent. Why should I surrender to you? The black crane was stimulated by the extraordinary calmness of the feather crane fairy and said angrily.
"If it's true as you said, why do you have to escape?"
The Feather Crane Fairy laughed. As soon as he was about to blow his horn quickly, the black crane's halberd stabbed first. He raised his hand and put his long dagger against the top of the halberd. The black crane tried to compete with him, but the other party was more powerful than he thought.
But the black crane, which seems to be at a disadvantage in strength, has a cunning smile on his ugly face, and the feather crane fairy is puzzled.
It was not until the monster he saw turned his wrist that he shouted, "It's not good!"
When the black crane's halberd rotated, it was like an electric drill on the motor, generating a strong impact force, which forced the feather crane fairy to take a few steps back, and his body was also against a tree. At this moment, if the dagger in his hand slips slightly, or even a little loose, the halberd will go straight through his chest and nail him to the tree behind him. His left hand, which supported the long dagger, had bleed. Even if his two hands were together, they could not support the gear, but he unreasonably loosened his left hand, grabbed the horn hanging on his neck, and blew it.
Dudu.
He didn't know whether Xia Qiu could still hear the sound of the horn after being filtered by the thick branches and leaves above, and he didn't know how far away she was from him, but he wanted to bet this time. In his long life, there seems to be something missing. Maybe that's what humans call **. And the prophecy of Tianshen Qiansu about his death made him brave. He wanted to bet his life this time, but he won.
The black crane's reminder about paying attention to human girls has always been lingering. As soon as the horn sounded, he was even more bottomless. He put away the halberd that could take the life of the feather crane fairy and ran away again.
When the horn sounded by the Feather Crane Fairy sounded, Xia Qiu had to be glad that she was not too far away from him. In fact, the main reason is that Xiao Libai is as familiar with the dense forest as the black crane, and its excellent spiritual power also makes its feelings in all aspects of soul separation become more sensitive.
"Little pear white, rush up!"
With a sound of Xia Qiu's order, the little pear white flashed into the dense forest like an arrow away from the string. The sharp branch cut a cut under Xia Qiu's eyes. She unconsciously blinked her eyes. At the same time, two shadows, a black and a white, flew right in front of her. Their speed is quite fast, and they are constantly changing squares between trees.
The Feather Crane Fairy continued to accelerate, intending to rush to the front of the black crane to intercept him, so that he and Xia Qiu could surround him. Although his life was on the line just now, it was also because of this that he was so relaxed and careless at this moment. This is the first time that he has devoted himself to the battle, no longer worrying about those trivial things, and no longer hoping to save those souls that have already been rotten from the depths. All he has to do is to protect the people he wants to protect.
The black crane only felt a gust of wind blowing over his head, and the Feather Crane Fairy stood in front of him incredibly. He had to stop flying and shouted hysterically in the air, "To this day, do you still have to stubbornly fight against me?"
"Whether in the past or now, what I want to protect most is always what you want to get and destroy most. This may be the evil fate between you and me. Today, let's make a break here!" The feather crane fairy raised the long dagger in his hand and pointed straight to the black crane.
"Feather Crane Fairy, aren't you hurt?" Xia Qiu has also rushed behind the black crane. She is not only asking the Feather Crane Fairy, but also distracting the enemy's attention.
While talking, she had pointed the light feather arrow behind the black crane. She remembered what the feather crane fairy told her that there were only three light feather arrows, and one must hit the heart of the black crane to succeed, but it was also because the number of arrows was too small that she hesitated when she took action.
The black crane felt the cold light coming from behind him. Thinking of the feather arrow shining in the girl's hand before, he was shocked. But he did not choose to continue to dodge, but decided to launch an offensive against the Feather Crane Immortals again. As long as he can fight with him, it will be difficult for human girls to have the opportunity to shoot arrows.
Xia Qiu had expected that the black crane would never sit and wait for death, so he was not in a hurry to take action. At this moment, the other party was in the hands of the Feather Crane Fairy. The two moved very fast, and their clothes, black and white, often overlapped, so she had to temporarily put away the feather and arrows of light.
The Feather Crane Fairy just picked up the halberd waved from the top of the head of the black crane, flipped behind him again, and continued to stab him with the halberd. After easily dodging this attack, he raised his hand and flew the long dagger out of the black crane's chest.
The dagger rotated rapidly, and the black crane raised the halberd to hit it aside, but it tried several times. Except for the Mars emitted by the collision of the two weapons, it could not change its direction in any case.
He roared angrily, "What kind of strange trick is this?! I didn't remember that you did this before!"
"In the long years I lived on Changsheng Island, I was only accompanied by cranes, so I had a lot of time to use." The Feather Crane Fairy suddenly flashed in front of the black crane, easily grabbed the long dagger that had just flown out, and stabbed it into the black crane.
The black crane only felt that the half of the shoulder that had hit the trunk before hurt more. The long dagger of the feather crane fairy had been pierced through his clothes. It was not blood spewed from the wound, but hot magma.
He sneered arrogantly and said, "Ha ha, it's useless. I'm immortal in the realm of soul separation!"
"How about trying this?" Xia Qiu said and shot an arrow from behind him.
The arrow of light went straight through the chest of the black crane, bringing the real pain he had not felt for a long time. He let out a sad scream, thinking that he was really going to die in the hands of a human girl, but after waiting for a while, he found that he was still alive. The arrow did pass through his left chest, but unfortunately his heart grew strangely on the right side.
He felt that this was a rare opportunity and deliberately continued to pretend to be in great pain, making the Yuhe Fairy and Xia Qiu think that he would die. At this time, he suddenly raised his hand and inserted the halberd into the abdomen of the feather crane fairy.
